Failure is necessary. We all explore new territories by testing boundaries (is this fire safe to touch?). Failure is just a way of finding out boundaries. We do not have enough sense mechanisms to navigate us freely through different dimensions (social, artistic, musical, business, etc) of the world. We are in a way like blind people, touching the walls of the dark room and building a map of it.
But once you've mapped out a certain dimension (let's say you learned how to draw a human face) you are better off. Even though your first 100 sketches will probably suck.
Now, what is stupid is:
a) Telling other people fire is safe to touch even though it's not. That's just blatantly stupid, if you're not gaining anything from disinformation you're being a total moron and fucking up a potentially useful connection to that person.
b) Touching fire again and again in hope of a different result.
